Buildings and construction generate nearly 37% of the annual global Co2 emissions. Buildings are responsible for 40% of global energy consumption. The industry is consuming a vast number of resources and requires a huge amount of transportation to move, ship, and deliver construction material, which respectively uses heavy trucks, cars, ships, etc., leading to more greenhouse gas emissions and adding to the problem.

The bricks-and-mortar-less initiative was launched by Duverse in October 2022 encouraging businesses to operate virtually on the metaverse whenever applicable by creating digital twins on the Metaverse where governmental entities or businesses can run the operations virtually more effectively. This leads to saving resources and greenhouse gas emissions resulting from the construction, then from the commuting in addition to saving the ongoing energy consumption, running cost, and maintenance of the buildings.

The #Bricksandmortarless is considered the next frontier of digital transformation.

The Bricks and Mortarless initiative was endorsed by global thought leaders like Jane Thomason, Laila Al Hadhrami, Hasan Algarhy , and others.

The initiative offers a smooth and easy-to-launch solution leading to a new era of digital transformation. Most of the current solutions are either adaptive or restorative for example applying green building technologies or retrofitting existing buildings to be more sustainable which is good but simply far from being enough. We need preventive solutions addressing the root causes of the problem and eliminating the source.

The initiative offers a smooth and easy-to-launch solution by applying the approach of going paperless in an industry that is heavily energy and extensively resulting in greenhouse gas emissions by going bricks and mortarless and operating virtually whenever applicable. It is leading a new Era of digital transformation.

The solution utilizes the creativity of the Metaverse and operates virtually to achieve sustainability goals.

The solution is based on an innovative emerging technology: the Metaverse bringing creativity from the Metaverse ecosystem to offer solutions and enhance processes. It is based on creating digital twins and “phygital” solutions to eliminate unnecessary construction, energy consumption, and transportation. It encourages using AI, AR, VR, XR, MR, and other relevant technologies.

The solution has a significantly positive impact on all of the above metrics. As it can achieve a significant reduction of GHG emissions and air pollution resulting from construction, buildings, and all related activities. It reduces and avoids construction and building waste. It leads to saving water from construction activities and building consumption. It reduces using land for construction and buildings.
